Matt Vogt Piano & Organ Moving

After calling several piano movers for quotes, Matt was by far the best priced. Made an appointment on Wednesday for an appointment that Friday but there was unexpected heavy rain so he asked to reschedule to ensure no problems would arise. No problem! We rescheduled for the following Wednesday when the weather was better. I told him I couldn’t take time off of work so we scheduled the appointment to where I would have the piano delivered during my lunch break. He moved a piano from my friend’s home in midtown with 12 very steep steps down to my home in North Elk Grove. He called me and my friend the morning of to confirm his arrival time. He called me when he was on his way to my home so I could start my lunch break, drive to my home for delivery of the piano which took less than 10 minutes, and be back in time for work. Great communication and service! Only accepts cash and checks.

Matt did an outstanding job moving our piano! He was careful, patient, and treated it as if it was his own. He was careful to protect not only the piano but the area around it.
Not only is he skilled and meticulous, he is a kind and respectful person. I would recommend him in a heartbeat with no hesitation whatsoever!

Matt was possibly the most customer service oriented business person I’ve dealt with in awhile. He took my call, scheduled me in a timely manner, offered competitive rates, and delivered my piano without damage. He was beyond courteous, kind and professional. We received reminder and confirmation calls as we were told we would. I would not only recommend Matt Vogt Piano & Organ Moving, but plan to use them again should another piano of ours need transportation.

It was time to buy a piano so we looked on Unilocal to find the best licensed, bonded, and insured piano mover who could help us transport a piano to our home. We found a couple companies with positive Unilocal reviews and left messages with them to get a price quote. Both companies were prompt with calling me back with their quotes, but we noticed that Matt Vogt’s price quote was about $ 40 less than the other company.
Today Matt and his assistant Paul came and delivered our beautiful Yamaha piano from Fair Oaks to Rocklin. We liked how Matt stayed in communication with us regarding times of delivery, so there were no surprises about when he would pick up the piano from the first location and deliver to our home.
Everything was very smooth and seamless. It was actually pretty interesting to watch, kinda like a trapeze artist working in tandem with the other person to do a flip. Paul and Matt worked very well as a team and were very patient as we were trying to figure out the best placement for the piano in our home. They were very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He was also able to suggest a great piano tuner for the future as well (didn’t realize we shouldn’t tune the piano until 3 – 4 weeks after moving, otherwise it just needs tuning again!).
We are so glad we found this company thru Unilocal and will definitely use them again for our piano moving needs.
Thanks Matt and Paul!

I cannot tell how great an experience it was having Matt move our piano. We purchased a used piano from another person in our own town, and even with the short distance, did not want to attempt to do it on our own. Matt was so accommodating with scheduling, and kept us informed constantly about when they would arrive. It cannot be easy to guess how each piano move will go and how long it will take. We could not get over how smoothly and gently they handled the piano. They made it look incredibly easy, as they are absolute professionals. Don’t get me wrong, in no way did they make it look easy in a way that made it seem like we could’ve moved it ourselves. It’s just that Matt’s experience is immediately evident. Do not hesitate to call Matt for your piano move today! He is friendly, professional, and passionate about his business.

I had a wonderful experience with Matt and his friend. I had already made an appointment to move a lovely little Baldwin Spinet from Arden Park to Davis, but had left messages to a few other piano movers as well. Matt called me back soon after and said he already had an appointment scheduled to move a piano from Carmichael to Vacaville the next day (so Arden Park to Davis is right in between), and offered to stop by and pick up my piano for a lower price since it would be on the way for him. He was extremely knowledgable and even recommended different arrangements of the piano in my room so that a tuner would have easier access later on. Highly recommended!

What a great guy Matt is! He went above and beyond in helping us arrange a piano donation. He assisted in scheduling the drop off with the receiver when I was having difficulty. He called ahead of arriving and Matt and his assistant were professional and fast.
I highly recommend Matt for your moving needs!

Matt was about 40 minutes late to our appointment. I rounded the 4.5 stars up. Had he called, and let me know he was running a behind, I would have given him 5 glowing stars. I would certainly still recommend his services to family and friends. His work was exemplary. His equipment, his piano handling techniques, and communication with the other helper during the move showed that he has done this for a very long time, and is good at what he does.

Matt was awesome, moved a piano from the in-​laws in Rancho Cordova to our house in Folsom. He also provided us with the contact information for a piano Turner. I would definitely recommend Matt.

I had a great experience with Matt. He moved an upright piano for me between two houses in Davis, and I was completely thrilled with his care and professionalism. He made sure to call me about an hour before arrival, to give me an updated ETA, and he was all finished within half an hour of arrival. Also, his rates were the most competitive I could find in ther Sacramento area, after calling about 5 places. I will definitely use Matt for my future piano moving.

Moving a Piano is a pretty obscure service so I came to Unilocal to help me start looking for some movers with reviews. The Piano was being moved from my grandmothers who recently passed and it was an antique, so my standards were very high when it came to choosing a mover.
I started off by calling a few larger companies who had excellent reviews. I was not impressed. One company called me back a day later after I left a message during business hours with my name and they couldn’t be bothered with leaving a message. Another company gave me a general quote for the hours I would be using them, and not what they were actually moving. Well, let me get to why I am giving 5 stars.
I called Matt and he answered right away. He was in the middle of moving a piano and asked if he could call me back. He did and he remembered my name. 1 point already! He quoted me for the type of Piano that had to be moved and the conditions it was being moved out of/​into (i.e. stairs) not a flat rate per hour he could charge everyone. Not only that, his quote was more than $ 100 less than the bigger movers I had called with a zillion 5 star ratings. We confirmed a date and he gave me a 2 hour window when he could arrive. He told me this is to give him time between appointments in case something went unexpectedly ary, but that he would call me when was 15 min out. He kept to his word and actually arrived at the start of the hour (12 – 2 was my window and he was there right at 12). My whole experience with him was phenomenal. When I met him he was courteous, professional, friendly and took more care than I could have imagined with my family heirloom. I mean, he took the glass off and wrapped it separately, I wouldn’t have thought of that, I am a bit of a ditz. I had expressed to him multiple times how important the piano was to me and my family and he genuinely assured me that they would be careful. It’s not everyday you meet someone like that.
The whole process took about an hour and a half. He charged me exactly what he quoted me, no surprises or extra added expenses. He also let me know he is fully insured, something else that isn’t a standard in the moving industry.
Matt is a one man show with another fella and all they do all day everyday is move pianos. He has some expertise in doing it the right way. He accepts cash only which I think is a great business move and I am a full on supporter of small business. If I ever have to move a piano or need someone to have their piano moved, I will refer him. He exceeded my expectations, I really can’t thank him enough or say enough nice things about him!

I have a beautiful Baldwin baby grand that I needed to have moved from my parents house to my new home down the street. I am very protective of my piano and was hesitant to hire just any piano mover. After calling friends in the piano industry and asking for their recommendations, I called Matt — and I’m SO glad I did!
Matt was very professional and did an outstanding job. He has been in the piano moving business for decades are really knows his stuff. He works extremely well with his partner (I forget his name at the moment) and I felt very comfortable having them move my piano. Even with a few stairs in the entry way, they never missed a beat and used excellent communication and expertise to bring my piano to it’s new home.
For something as important (and valuable!) as a piano, I was more concerned with quality than rate. However, I got the best of both worlds with Matt. In addition to his excellent service, he was very reasonably priced.
I will without a doubt use Matt again in the future!

I have used Matt to move my piano 3 times now and it has been a great experience every time. I never have to worry about something happening to the piano, I know he will take great care with it. I highly recommend him!

Matt Vogt has moved my grand piano three times and has been consistently perfect every time. My 7ft grand weighs over seven hundred pounds. It is a great instrument and I need it to be carefully handled by qualified, experienced professionals. I am very impressed with the skill and precision demonstrated my Matt and his crew. Every aspect of the move is carefully choreographed. Matt continually communicates and directs so the move is pulled off without a hitch. By working together they are able to lift and move my massive piano with what seem like ease. I highly recommend him without reservation!

We had our baby grand moved from Roseville to Wilton last week and were very happy with Matt’s service. He was professional and courteous. His prices are very reasonable.

I have used Matt twice in the past 6 years. The first time to move a donated piano from a person’s house to a high school where I worked. The second time, just a week ago, to move my girlfriend’s baby grand from the Vallejo area to my home in South Land Park.
Matt is professional, punctual, insured, and great at what he does. He puts the instrument exactly where you want it and does not leave until it is positioned just how you want it. He will work with you to leave a key at the piano’s location if you can’t be there and he will leave everything else as he found it. He’ll get your bench, music, little hardwood floor protector cups under the legs, anything piano-​related that you need to come along. Both times, I was impressed both by the ease with which it is to do business with him, and the speed and obvious experience with which he does his work.
For me, to move a baby grand piano 60+ miles, it was in the low 400s, which was exactly what he quoted.
I actually mentioned the other person who gave him one star on here and he just shook his head about it and explained the massive difference in effort between moving an upright upstairs and a behemoth 5′ by 5′ baby grand upstairs (about 20 cubic feet and hundreds of pounds — enough to require him to hire another person to be on the truck). The difference seems pretty normal for that level of effort. Maybe just know what you want to do before you schedule your appointment, or give him plenty of time to revise the estimate, not the same day when he is out on a truck delivering pianos.
Check him out on Angie’s List; he is VERY well reviewed. Don’t let the negative review on here fool you. Matt is solid and he will move your instrument like a pro, because that’s what he is.
